Madonna

[dylansharif]

It's strange - she's constantly beguiling, one of those humans that can honestly still surprise you and make you feel how much infinite depth she has and how she is really is unknowable after sharing so much of herself for the last 40 years...

People are often quick to call her out on superficiality or vanity or chasing trends now etc... but at her core, she often reveals a true vulnerability and a big (albeit scarred) heart, and it comes out when you are the most unprepared for it. I am sitting waiting for the day she writes her autobiography (and hopefully reads it aloud for the audible version hahah).

She's so underrated about her way with words. That was captivating as fuck and just beautiful. Maybe one day I'll look for her children book. I mean SEX itself has some very great writing all over. Some things that... maybe shouldn't be there, but it is 95% bulletproof. It's all very sexy, horny and funny.

The way the post also goes through many lyrics\songs references... so celebrationtour-coded of her.

One thing I find super underrated from that Tour is the Like a Virgin arrangement.

The greatest re-arrangement of a classic she’s ever done. It’s also such an inspired concept, ddd.

ALRIGHT LONDON, ARE YOU READY TO RIDE WITH ME??? is so iconic too.

You Thrill me on the Confessions Tour elevates Erotica from lust to sensuality and longing for me… and it’s one of her finest performances and really lets her background as a modern dance dancer shine through …
Obsessed. That tour was her blond ambition of the 00s. I was 14 and bought a ticket for £20 from a reseller outside Wembley and it was there I fell in love with Madonna, making and writing music.

I agree it is her Blonde Ambition of the 00s. And to think- it doesn’t even include Like A Prayer or Vogue.

I know... but Confessions the album was such a seminal moment in her career, and something in the energy during that tour... Ray of Light was amazing and so many fans' favourite but the Drowned World tour seemed heavy and dark... Confessions was just - high energy - and the sections and staging were incredible - I remember my jaw dropping to the floor in the arena when her dancers were doing parkour around the stands and the unique muti-stages were used so well... and the Disco Inferno sections, and her iconic costumes and dancers (Omg Cloud!!) it was all so... on point!

 

[johnoclock]

I personally prefer Drowned World since it had a bit more of a bite and I have a soft spot for defiantDonna but Confessions was definitely her most slick and well put together modern tour. The section with Music-Erotica-La Isla Bonita-Lucky Star-Hung Up alone annihilates careers.

Confessions tour is perfection. Everything about it was just right.

I really regret not seeing Confessions. It skipped Toronto - as did Drowned World and Madame X.

But the filmed show is really good. As I always say when it come to the Confessions Tour, "it needs to be released on Blu Ray".

 

[johnoclock]

Yeah now that she's remastering and reuploading her catalogue, not having Confessions in HD is such a glaring omission. I think it was shot on film and an HD master exists right, I'm pretty sure it was aired in HD on NBC.

I remember hearing that it was shot digitally on 720p

 

[mindtrappa]

If it aired in HD (which it did), wouldn’t it need to have been in at least 1080p? Even Britney’s Onyx Hotel Tour special aired in 1080p two years earlier, so would be odd if Madonna’s didn’t.

I really hope I'm wrong about this!

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Wish all Madonna tours were on Blu Ray. Wish Blonde Ambition was available full stop as it happens too.

Looks like she's letting her natural root grow out a bit more going off her Instagram stories. It looks so good with the fox orange

According to the IMDB technical specs the tour was shot on 35mm film
